Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 November 2020
225. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the status of 41 rail cars due to be rolled out in 2022; if the process of calibration has commenced in respect of the rail cars; and the full cost of the delivery of the rail cars. [36529/20]
View answerAs Minister I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the development and delivery of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area including, in consultation with Iarnród Éireann, development of the railway network including the purchase of rolling stock.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
